1:50 - 2:50 was EPIC beyond comprehension. Science fiction has become reality, and in a very short time too. There are still human beings alive in 2014 who were born in 1898, a time when my Cowboy and Native American ancestors were alive and travelling in the saddle on horseback. And then we: Developed electrical grids. Developed the modern telephone. Developed radio. Invented and developed television. Invented, developed, and reinvented computers. Walked on the Moon. Invented and perfected video games. Invented, developed, and perfected recording media. Invented the Internet. Invented and developed cellular phones. Invented and developed satellites and space probes and space stations. Toured all the planets. And countless other things. *All in a single lifetime* Think about that.

It is really terrifying how big the Universe is. For me it is rather depressing that all that all of the wonder of the universe is absolutely pointless? I love life so much and in particular being with my loved ones and family . I am sad to think that all I will have is the very short lifespan of a human being and after that is nothing. I really hope there is a God but after all of the research and learning that I have done it just doesn't seem possible. Please don't take what I say as an affront to your religion . I am just sharing my thoughts. May my fellow space lovers out there enjoy all that you can in your life and keep learning :) .

[@lordblazer]

Lifeon Enceladus I Wish I could just go out there and explore space.. I wish I could see other planets, and other civilizations and other intelligent species. I wish I could learn about Galactic politics. Or even if there is an intergalactic civilization, it's politics.. how does their economy work? what languages do they speak? etc etc. but alas I'm stuck on this crappy planet full of people that want to kill each other. seriously we're like Tuchanka on steroids man.

[@lifeonenceladus4420]

[@mindofmayhem.]

Lifeon Enceladus There is a God, and science is closer to it then any religion could ever pray to be. lol Many don't believe because those in religion are LYING.... I believe reality tells us that: There is Only One Creator. IT has no BOOKS Speaks to NO One IT's laws are NOT dependent on man's religion's or beliefs. If we stopped lying, many people could study the laws of"whatever" the created universe we find ourselves conscious in.

[@carnaljohnson4399]

Lifeon Enceladus there is actually more evidence that there is a God. Many scientists end up believing in a more intelligent creator rather than all of our atoms randomly cooking up as a bowl of soup that stimulated the growth of an organism. We still don't know exactly how life "happened".

[@MissCutiePie20]

Hopefully in 100 years from now nasa can make something that can travel as fast as light! That would be awesome!

[@YDDES]

The Voyagers missions were to study the outer planets when passing them. Something they performed very well. No one had expected they would "live" to these days. It's just a "bonus" that we can get some information about the outskirts of the solar system and study from how long a distance we can "hear" one of our spaceprobes. So no, not useless at all. We have learned a lot from the Voyagers missions.

[@sharkbaitinnewengland8156]

I hope both Voyagers will soon meet alien life so both satellites can be refueled to keep traveling further within space! You guys are awesome!!!

[@DrayseSchneider]

Elison Talabong Well, technically the Voyager craft have thrusrers but they're not used for propulsion. They got their initial boost from the rockets that launched them and got their escape velocities from using gravitational boosts from the gas giants. They've gotten as far as they did simply by coasting! I agree though that it would be neat if an alien life form in the future refitted and refueled them and then sent them on their way again.

Turns out that going into interstellar world we represent whole Earth's life including ALL species of our planet. It's damn tough responsibility which humans never had before...

[@shanefanon]

hey lifeon enceladus ... the universe is not terrifying to me at all. I am not separate from it but am a part of it as are you and everything/everyone else. And my life span is just that ... a life span ... short or long by comparison to phenomena of the universe is not directly relational to any other span of time and being. And I am comfortable with this knowledge .My life is longer than that of a dog or a butterfly for example but not that of a planet or a star. I live and die in the time (s) I am in now. I remember looking the first time through a telescope and having my father explain that every star i could observe was in the past. That the stars light had taken maybe millions of years to reach my eye and that that star right NOW may not even exist. That was really confusing to the mental agility of my adolescent mind and logic to understand. Older, smarter, more experienced today, i can understand these concepts easily. I would ask you to now to not live in fear or believe yourself to be very small . Fearful people do really stupid things firstly and as you are born due to an exploding star you are already really a great part of the consciousness of this universe which demands that we contribute to its continuing knowledge and beauty and development . Have fun with this other perspective of reality !

Without space exploration and the money invested in space technology, we wouldn't have half the technology we now use on a daily basis. Not to mention the incredible influence it had on science.

[@KishoshimaDragonash]

Radio waves never stop traveling. The tightest signal is going to be near Voyager and as the signals travel away, they dont get weaker, they just spread out more and more and more.. so if you build a big enough reciever you can pick up the signal at its original strength. The more powerful the transmission, the smaller your reciever has to be. Radio Telescopes do exactly that.. but they're linked together in a massive 'virtual' antenna, roughly the size of the earth.

[@YDDES]

Actually, I meant to write that Voyager 1 would take 20,000 years to reach the nearest star. But, since it doesn't head in that direction, it will take 40.000 years before it comes at a distance of 1.6 lightyears from another star. If it doesn't collide with a rock or something, it will hardly "fall apart", but, as I said earlier, it will cease to work around 2025, due to "power starvation".

[@TheLondonCyclist]

Have they lost contact of the voyager. or can they still get a signal? I'd assume it's millions of miles away by now.

[@sharkbaitinnewengland8156]

Voyager 1 and 2 are billions of miles away, soon to be zillions of miles away, both still operating and expected to still have power until 2020.

[@YDDES]

The distance has nothing to do with it. What matters is how many arc seconds an object occupies in our sky and how bright it is. Voyager1 wouldn't be visible for Hubble even if it was only at Moons distance.

[@Charlie2531games]

Besides wiping out a considerable fraction of those now alive, it would leave a wan, grey future from which the survivors and their descendants could do nothing to escape.

This is why our modern generation must take action to avoid catastrophe,

[@YDDES]

Yes, the signals can still be recieved. "Interstellar space" means the space between the stars. There's no way we can send a sond that comes close to another solar system in the next several thousand years and there's no way we can equip it with such a powerful transmitter that we can recieve its signals from such a distance. As I said: The NEAREST star is at about 4 lightyears distance. Voyager 1 is , after 36 years, at about 17 lighthours distance...

If Vulcan is nearby (e.g a typo was made): 4972.0 years +/- 27.35 (one sigma) years. It is statistically certain measured period is within 90% if Vulcan is at the IRAS point, and 87% if it is not.

That name is still up for grabs. Outside the Local Group TIME is open, too. Now that "Vyger" is in interstellar space, it's also in the Milky Way's STANDARD, faster moving, interstellar TIME or "Mikey's Time." Pass it on, please and thank you. As it should be

Nope! That was NOT the main reason. Read up on space research history. The reason we sent along some information about ourselves was that the Voyager probes would be the first man-made objects leaving the solar system. And, that solar system leaving was only because of the trajectories and speed chosen to be able to pass as many planets as possibe at close range.
